    Couldent believe it still had'nt been snapped up this morning! guess the transportation is the main issue or it'd be gone

    Yeah the transportation & the actual size of it would put most off I reckon

    Seen that cab in the flesh a while ago, its bloody huge !! I assume it break apart in more manageable bits.

    Yeah it splits into two the seller said, so I presume the screen section detaches & leaves the control section. It looks monsterous, I hope the screen section fits through a doorway when its sideways...

    I rented a van recently from Enterprise.ie i think it was. 113 fully comp insurance over night, you might get it less if its only for a couple of hours. there is no milage charge from them you just have to put back in what petrol you use.

    Have a quote from a local man with a van type business...he reckons in or around €35 for the job which seems pretty damn good.

    So all is set it seems:

    €200 - Check
    Transportation - Check
    Space - Check
    Offer Placed - Check
    Sanity - ...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Mr.Saturn


    I'd jump on it too. Though, I wouldn't start questioning the auld sanity 'til you've spent the better part of 5 hours trying to out-do yourself on Gunblade's Score-Attack mode.

    Of that I wonder too. If it was possible to put any of the good Model 2 shooters in it then I'm even more sold

    One thing to note, you'd need to rig up a Virtua Cop light gun. As Gunblade NY has fixed position guns I'd imagine they're not light guns but instead take the inputs from the gun base. Similar to Operation Wolf, Alien the Gun etc.

    If you got a light gun working then you could play House of the Dead too :)

    Still, with a 50 inch projection monitor..feck, I'd be trying to hook up everything under the sun! Not just Model 2 boards. Imagine if you got Time Crisis going on that bad boy. Would be like having one of these

    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcScCvtJJnmMitMZGRK0HzicGN8vYoBB_XBxADL9Fp1bz4wx2pPA

    Or one of those 50 inch HOTD 2s :O

    Ah I see, I wonder if there's much involved in doing a conversion...

    If you never offloaded that spare copy of Joystick Gamers, then I'll take it off your hands, or trade you for a Pink Bullets zine (if you didn't get one). :)

    I have a pink bullet zine, I just need a safe place to put the money from sales that isn't in a pub :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,328 ✭✭✭Pyongyang


    Joystick Gamers is brilliant. Simple elegance. I spoke to the chap who made those, he's hoping to make another this year.

    Jeffrey Z. Nipplecakes bought all of his remaining copies at a doujin matsuri last year and said he will return!

    Shame Jeff didn't have any copies left for me. Least he could have done since he's using my tasty Raiden superplay pics to promote one of his shop items. :P

    (That's just a joke, if Jeff ever clicks in here by mistake.)

    Pyong me ole mucker, you're great at finding stuff like this, help me find one since safetyboy no play ball. ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,328 ✭✭✭Pyongyang


    No idea, it will be difficult to find now. When it comes to doujin stuff like that, once it's gone it's gone. Same with my zine.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,259 ✭✭✭✭o1s1n

    Well my original price was €200, with a big drop to €150 yesterday due to no takers and a need to move it on soon. I guess I could do €140 for one of you guys. Any less than that and I'll start losing money on it.

    Have seen some going on ebay.com for €200-€250 as of late, without the network adapter.

    Actually most of the ones I've seen for sale over the years haven't had any network adapter. I'll include it with my one. (it's original and came with the dev unit)

    Just to say, I'll be selling on my Neogeo MVS mobo, including a nice 111 in 1 cart, shortly on Adverts.
    This is the larger format board with a socketed bios and Neogeo pad connectors on the board.
    Very nice it is too!
    I'll post when it's up on Adverts.

    Just purchased the same mobo from uk yesterday :mad: may be interested in the cart though


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Well, I am trying to sell it as a package, as I need the total funds for something else.
    If there is someone else who wants to go in with you for the MVS mobo then we can deal.
